Mc- Graw, of the New York Giant9, is the highest paid manager in baseball. McGraw receives $25,000 a year for managing the Giants. McGraw will receive this sum for five years after the expiration of 1913. For the first time the inside story of the way in which McGraw’ signed this big contract is told. The story came from the lips of the little boss himself. And it revealed him as a man able to play the game of “blulT” off the field as well as on it. McGraw demanded that sum. And one of the reasons he secured it was because He offered just one alterna tive—his resignation. Here is what happened: McGraw. during the lifetime of John Brush, was satisfied. The relations of the magnate and the manager were cordial. They understood each other McGraw knew what to expect and the two went along very pleasantly On the death of Mr. Brush new men came to the head of the club. Mc- Graw’s contract had but a short tim* to r un. As the story goes, Brush had as sured McGraw that for his faithful ness in handling the club he would be rewarded in Brush’s will. It was understood, it is said, that he would get a piece of the club. McGraw was ; content. But when the will was opened there j was nothing there for Muggsy. An- ; gered to the quick, he rushed in with his resignation. It is said there were no prelimi- ! narles. The scrappy manager said h. had come to resign. The officials couldn't understand the proceeding They asked McGraw if he wasn’t sat isfied. He answered that he was not They wanted him to go into details and to state his grievances. Then came the opening. They want ed to know whether there wasn’t some way by which he could be retained If there were not some circumstances which w’ould cause him to reconsider his determination. The fighting boss answered that there was. He stated that if his.sal ary was increased to $25,000 a year and the contract ran for five years he w’ould sign a new contract then and there. They demurred. McGraw was get ting in the neighborhood of $18,000. It was pointed out that this was ; rather a heavy increase. McGraw ad- 1 mltted the fact, but stated thAt $25,00u i a year for five years was his price. A new contract was drawn up. Mc Graw was handed a pen. He affixed his signature and went out of the office of the New York ball club the highest salaried man connected with the playing end of the game. The story comes straight from the little Napoleon, a^ they sometimes call him, himself. In those five years McGraw will be paid $125,000. And you can wager it isn’t one of those baseball contracts that permit a club owner to turn player, salary and all over to some other club or give him his uncon ditional release, with the salary ceas ing on the day that it goes into ef fect. It’s $25,000 ® year for five years, rain, shine, thunder, lightning, first place, last place, top of the second division or last place in the first. MANAGER DRAWS SUSPENSION.
